Founding Engineer
The Cypress Group
As one of the first engineers, you will own the product end-to-end — from the tools used by one side of the marketplace to manage workflows, to the experience the other side has when interacting with and evaluating those outputs. The platform already has strong early traction, with active users generating significant daily data. The foundation is in place, and there is substantial opportunity to expand and shape the product going forward. You will take full ownership of product development — defining what gets built, how it works, and how it feels. This role involves close collaboration with the founder to set priorities, design solutions, and identify future hiring needs. TypeScript across the stack React for frontend development Node.js for backend services Role Breakdown (Approximate)
- 70% core product development (dashboards, workflows, UX iteration)
- 20% internal tools and operational features
- 10% growth-focused engineering (onboarding, activation, retention, billing)
